The Country Tails’ hotel consists of secure and homely cottages (hutches). Each animal is checked three times a day and fed twice. All ‘visitors’ (pets) are given a range of fresh good quality veg and pellet food from owners alongside fresh grazing. The pet’s food is measured out to monitor their weight to keep them bright eyed and bushy tailed. We want to make our visitor’s stay as stress free an

d enjoyable. The owner will be asked about their pet’s temperament, what they do and don’t eat and if there is any underlying health conditions. Every visitor is given lots of love and attention. For your peace of mind pictures of your darlings can be put onto Facebook show they are enjoying their holiday too. Country Tails is a fully insured by specialist insurers Cliventon. The hotel for health and insurance reasons can only accept vaccinated animals, on time of arrival the owner has to show up-to-date vaccination records.

Sleep!
A huge key element to a happy dog.
Dogs should sleep for an average of 16 hours a day and more for a puppy.
That may sound crazy but it's how dogs wind down and recharge.
Dogs that don't get enough sleep can often have lots of behavioural problems because they are tired and cranky. Also, if they can't sleep, then why? Why are they not resting? and what can we do to help them with that?
Most pups need to be put to bed to rest. So low stimulation, quiet area, that's cosy will help.
Some dogs need us to sit still for them not to be worried you're going, and they sleep better when you are near.
Sleep is also part of a pattern, so start to encourage sleep when you are busy, e.g, whether working from home or when you are out. So they get used to being tired then and switch off.
This is why a good routine will help settle your dog.

If you're an owner and your pooch is showing signs of stress when wearing a muzzle in public and on walks, some words of encouragement from Ezra's owner, Kit, might help! 🥰🐾

They said: "I tried him in a smaller muzzle and he was so stressed and shut down that he’d stop walking, bash his face on walls and hated being out. I got the lovely new one and he was a different dog overnight. He’s so happy in his muzzle, it’s like he’s not wearing it. Fit is everything."

When choosing a muzzle, it’s important to make sure:

🌡️ It allows excellent airflow so your dog doesn’t overheat while wearing it.
🐶 There is roughly 1cm space between your dog’s nose and the end of their muzzle - their nose shouldn’t touch the end of it.
💦 It allows your dog to open their mouth to pant, eat and drink.
💪 It’s made of a durable material that won’t break.

Remember, what suits one dog might not suit another, so be sure to measure your dog correctly for their muzzle and shop around to see what's available.
